Three months left of 2026. Are your finances where you thought they'd be? ๐Ÿ”ธ

Back in January, you probably had a few goals. Maybe to save more, pay down debt, or finally get your pension sorted.

The good news? There's still time to make a difference. Here's a simple five-minute check-in:

1. Your savings ๐Ÿ’ท
Is your emergency pot still there? A common rule of thumb is three to six months of essential spending.

2. Your pension ๐Ÿ’ฐ
When did you last check your contributions? Small increases now can add up over decades.

3. Your allowances ๐Ÿ“ˆ
ISA and pension allowances don't always roll over. Use them or lose them, and remember the tax year ends on 5 April.

4. Your protection ๐Ÿ”’
Have your circumstances changed this year? A new home, baby or job can all mean your cover needs a refresh.

5. Your plan โœ…
Do you actually have one? If the answer is "sort of", that's a good place to start.

You don't need to overhaul everything. Just pick one thing and take a step.

Not sure where to begin? That's what we're here for.

Itโ€™s more than just a place to work. ๐Ÿ”ธ

One of the things we love most about Luma is how close-knit our team is.

Yes, we work hard. Weโ€™re constantly learning, solving problems, supporting clients and keeping each other on our toes.

But thereโ€™s plenty of laughter, plenty of coffee ๐Ÿ‘€ and plenty of moments where someoneโ€™s always up for a chat. We think that makes a real difference.

Because when you enjoy coming into the office, feel comfortable asking for help and know the people around you have your back, work feels a little different.

Weโ€™re proud of the environment weโ€™ve created at Luma - a team where people genuinely enjoy working together, celebrate each otherโ€™s successes and support one another when things get busy.

And ultimately, we think that positive team spirit comes through in the way we look after our clients too.

Good people. Great teamwork. A pretty great place to spend your working week. ๐Ÿ”ธ

What if I lost my job tomorrow? ๐Ÿ”ธ

None of us like to think about it, but most of us have, at least once, at 2am.

Redundancy isn't something anyone plans for - How long could your savings actually cover you? What happens to your mortgage, your pension, your day-to-day costs while you're between jobs? It's the kind of thing that's far less frightening when you've already thought it through, rather than working it out in a panic.

You don't need all the answers today. Just an honest look at where you stand.

So, do you know how long you'd actually last?

โœจ What an inspiring evening.

We had the privilege of attending a fantastic evening at the WellChild Awards 2026, and left feeling genuinely inspired by the incredible people we met and heard from.

From the children themselves, who spoke so passionately and confidently about their right to access the same opportunities as everyone else, to their devoted siblings and parents who provide so much love and support every day.

A particular highlight was hearing from Sarah and Carl, a couple who foster and adopt children with complex needs. Their story was incredibly moving and had the whole room on its feet, applauding through tears. โค๏ธ

We were also surrounded by so many of the incredible WellChild - the national charity for sick children nurses, who make such an enormous difference to children and their families. The work they do, often behind the scenes, has a truly life-changing impact.

Evenings like this remind us just how much can be achieved when people come together to support something bigger than themselves.

It has certainly inspired us at Luma to do more and help as many people as we can. Watch this space for more fundraising from Team Luma! ๐Ÿ”ธ

And a huge congratulations to Matt James on a brilliant evening and a fantastic event. ๐Ÿ‘

A night we'll certainly remember. โค๏ธ

A change of scenery this week as our director, Ben, headed to the SJP Leadership Summit at The Grove - two days of insights, ideas and conversations on what's next in financial planning.

Always valuable to step away from the day-to-day, hear different perspectives, and bring fresh thinking back to the team ๐Ÿ’ก

A few highlights from the summit:

๐ŸŽ—๏ธ SJP has now raised ยฃ150m for good causes - including a moving video from WellChild on how they've supported thousands of families over the past 10 years.
๐Ÿš€ History making Astronaut Tim Peake, shared his story.
๐ŸŽจ Artist Henry Fraser inspired the room - after a neck injury left him paralysed from the neck down, Henry now creates incredible paintings using only his mouth. His positivity brought a tear to many of us, and was a powerful reminder to find gratitude in the small things.
๐Ÿ’ช Julian Hearn, founder of Huel, quite possibly the hardest-working man in business, shared his journey.

Two days well spent with some of the best in the industry.
